[jira] [Commented] (JCLOUDS-1108) GCE support for shorten hardwareId

["Aled Sage (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-1108?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15769719#comment-15769719 ] 

Aled Sage commented on JCLOUDS-1108:
------------------------------------

+1 for this. It would be really useful to have for downstream projects such as Apache Brooklyn. From a user's perspective, it's so much easier to do something like (brooklyn yaml format below):
{noformat}
location:
  google-compute-engine:us-central1-a:
    hardwareId: n1-standard-1
{noformat}

Rather than:
{noformat}
location:
  google-compute-engine:us-central1-a:
    hardwareId: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/jclouds-gce/zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/n1-standard-1
{noformat}

Also, see (the closed PR) https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds-labs-google/pull/171 for some older discussion of this.

> I'd like to slightly change the MachineTypeToHardware to support hadwareId like `f1-micro` instead of the entire URI.
> I've also noticed that location should not be mapped in the HardwareBuilder as it is needed only when a the hardware is available only on a particular location.
